Recently we exhibited a Jewelry collection featuring precision cut stones as the central gem.
So, what sets them apart?
Enhanced color distribution
In a precision cut stone each facet is aligned, and the pavilion is not cut in a traditional chequered/briolette cut, but faceted, enhancing the color concentration, even distribution, and saturation, giving the gem more crystal and life.
Several precision cut stones under natural daylight. Notice the color saturation and concentration. From left to right, lower part: Amethyst, Indicolite, Rio Grande Citrine. Upper part: Pink Tourmaline, Heliodor, and Imperial Topaz. Light brilliance and performance
Furthermore a precision cut enhances the way light enters and exit the stone, making it brighter and with vivid under different light conditions
A precision cut Heliodor under natural daylight. Higher added value
This cut is an art, it requires patience, knowledge, and a thorough study of the rough. The result is a balanced stone, symmetrical, and proportional.
Zoomed front view of a precision cut Imperial Topaz, a rare gemstone. Notice the symmetry and distribution of the facets, alongside the color saturation and vividness, even under indirect light in a photo box. Zoomed pavilion view of the same Imperial Topaz. It is possible to see the precise alignement of all lower facets, and the polished girdle, which adds life and color to the gem. A precision cut Chrome Tourmaline. Carefully selected for its finish. Notice the outer lines and the return of light and color, due to its facets. Center stone of one of the exclusive designs.
